extended data:

practical significance

the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate

can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit

operation system

fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market

will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement

2. Block Tianyan: digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency (which can be used for real goods and services transactions). In short, it is the electronization of RMB, which is equivalent to paper currency, but more flexible than paper currency. It can track the flow of your money and pay without the Internet

digital currency has the main characteristics of network packet. This kind of data packet is composed of data code and identification code. The data code is the content we need to transmit, while the identification code indicates where the data packet comes from and goes

based on the characteristics of digital money, the direct benefit of digital money to the central bank is not only to save the cost of paper money issuance, circulation and settlement, but also to enhance the central bank's ability to control funds.

in addition, the bank account, Zhang Sanhui gives you 100, Li Sihui gives you 100, under the current system, there is no essential difference between the two 100, For you, for the system, the bank account is the same bookkeeping symbol, but under the digital currency mechanism, the system can correctly identify which unit currency, that is, the 200 yuan, is given by Zhang San and which by Li Si. Note that this is in the electronic system, not the actual paper currency, which is equivalent to giving DNA to each unit currency
